You guys are great clowns. You three should join together and be comedians. You'd be great. Not that I hate the PS3, but your predictions are outrageous.

----

So anyway, my predictions:

Wii - 42 mil
PS3 - 21 mil
360 - 30 mil

1. KH3 will be announced as a Wii exclusive, possible trailer shown but maybe just a teaser.
2. DMC4 360 version will outsell DMC4 PS3 version if Japan DMC4 sales aren't high enough.
3. Mega Man Wii game announced (possibly that Mega Man Scramble Battle).
4. A SF for Wii will be announced, but not SF4.
5. Versus XIII and FF XIII onslaught of info coming.
6. KH: 358/2 Days will outsell both Coded and BBS first week.
7. ToS: KoR hailed as one of the best Wii games.
8. More Wii RPGs coming.
9. Media.Vision's Wii RPG announced and info + trailer(s) given.
10. MH3 onslaught of info coming. Possible Japan release.
11. Level 5 announced Wii game.
12. Zack and Wiki 2 announced for Wii (of course).
13. SE announces not much FFCC: TCB info shown because it's one of SE's biggest games, second to FF XIII and possibly/probably Versus).
14. I will reach 20k+ posts.

And now for the best one...

15. leo-j, kber, and CrazzyMan ALL eat (big) crow.

(1)Yeah man, I also think kingdom Hearts will become Wii exclusive. I can definitely see it coming.

(3)That poll on Capcom's japanese site really was awfully suspicious, plus Wii won with a great majority.

(5)I think FFXIII's battle system will be demo'ed at one of the grand conventions next year, much like FFX did once at E3 years back.

(8)I see it being possible. But since the latest JRPGs failed on the Wii, Im not too sure that it will get flooded. But hopefully theres a Mother games coming to the Wii, that would be awesome.

 

I would like to add that I also believe that Sony has learned a valueble lesson from 2007, and in 2008 we will be flooded with 3rd party exclusives that Sony has negotiated their way to. They will consist of a good portion of new IPs but however I believe there will be a few sequels aswell.

I also think the "rumoured" Capcom PS3 exclusive is either:

An Onimusha sequel

or...

A Dino Crisis Sequel

I have a feeling Kaz has been often at the Capcom offices to discuss a compensation for Devil may cry 4. And I think he knows that the PS fanbase desires a big compensation for it. Either way, Kaz would be very smart to secure either DC4 or an O-sequel. A new IP would be nice too.

Lastly, I believe the Rockstar PS3 exclusive is Red Dead Revovler 2, and it will be either unveiled during the period of GDC or E3.
